WINNIPEG

Hockey School Itinerary:
The days are full days from approximately 8:00am - 4:00pm, however, times may vary depending on registration numbers. A full schedule will be emailed out to each participant closer to the start date of the camp. Each girl will be on the ice twice a day as well as learn valuable off-ice hockey instruction also twice a day. Girls will be supervised all day and assistance in getting dressed in their hockey equipment will be available for the younger groups.

On Ice: Athletes will have two ice times a day where they will learn to skate, pass, stickhandle and shoot. Every session will also have a dedicated goalie coach. Groups will have a max of 30 skaters and 4 goaltenders. There will also be two scrimmage games throughout the week during their Wednesday afternoon on ice and their Friday morning on ice.

Off Ice: Athletes will be coached and taught by certified training professionals. Depending on the athletes age group, they will have several hockey off-ice training sessions as well as be introduced to other athletic activities. We feel it's very important hockey players be well rounded athletes.

Lunch: Lunch is not provided, but can be purchased from the canteen at Gateway Recreation Centre. The canteen does not have many healthly options so we strongly recommend packing a healthy lunch and snacks in order to help the athletes stay focussed for the entire day.

Ages 7-17. Beginners to Elite players all welcome. Groups will be based on age, however, parents can always change the group assigned to them depending on skill, need for carpool or other requirement.

Instructors: You will not get more experienced instructors at any other female hockey school.

Sami Jo Small: Camp owner. Three time Olympic Goaltender. Sami Jo is a graduate of Stanford University and has her Advanced Coaching level with Hockey Canada. She currently plays for the Toronto Furies of the Canadian Women's Hockey League.

Other Instructors have included (we try to keep this current, but scheduling conflicts can not always be prevented):Fiona Smith: Olympian and World Champion for Team Canada.

Bursary Program: We want every girl to be able to have the experience of a summer hockey school regardless of cost. If cost is an issue for you, please send an email Sami Jo at samismall@hotmail.com In the email your daughter/the athlete must write a paragraph on why they love hockey. And the parent/guardian must indicate how much they are willing to pay. ($0-$full price)Sami Jo will assess the email and decide if the applicant is worthy of the bursary.

Billet Program: Are you willing to be a billet? Do you need a billet? If you are interested in either one, please email Sami Jo at samismall@hotmail.com. If you accepted as a billet, we will take $200 off the price of the camp. If we are successful in finding you a billet, there will be a $200 fee on top of registration. There is no guarantee we will be able to match athletes with billets, however, we will do our best.
